Then tell me. In case you don't know... 8,000 plus hours,
FAR 135, several type ratings, grass strips and big
airports, sometimes on the same day. Have declared
emergency on several occasions. Have visited ATC
facilities.


Did anybody declare an emergency and request an opposite direction arrival
during any of your visits?



Have flown into, usually single-pilot, ATL, DFW, ORD, and
other similar. I know that once you have a steady stream of
arrivals, they can't be suddenly stopped. FAR priority does
not alter the laws of space, time or physics.


But you've said, several times now I think, that the POTUS gets that
treatment. How is it that the laws of space, time, and physics can be
altered for him but for an emergency?

Oh, by the way, the operational priority hierarchy in FAAO 7110.65 puts
presidential aircraft fourth, after aircraft in distress, LIFEGUARD flights,
and SAR.
